“I love this knife. The whole package is really great. Fit and finish is perfect, sheath retention is ideal and the belt loop very generous, the handle is fantastically grippy and comfortable. Reviewers have complained its smaller the the SRK handle, but it feels ideal in my grip (i've smallish hands tho!) and the balance, mobility is spot on. The blade is a really handy shape and size and came razor sharp out the box. I've yet to see how the holds the carbon steel holds an edge, not great i imagine, but it'll be easy enough to touch back up. Very pleased with the purchase and i'm keen to check out the SRK big brother now. Incredibly quick delivery from Uncle Heinnie of course. Thanks team! :-)”

“This being my first Cold Steel knife I must say it was a big disappointment. Box was sealed on top and bottom. Slice the top seal to take out the knife, and the first thing I noticed was a missing screw on the right of the sheath. As for the blade itself, very average. Couldn't cut paper in a clean line, very jaggy. I will say Heinnie was great sending out a new screw for the sheath. Perfect customer service as usual. I know lots of people also have trouble with their axis-lock as well. I won't be getting another Cold Steel knife anytime soon.”

“This is my 2nd Cold Steel knife made from SK5. I received my Recon Tanto from Heinnie last week and I was so impressed with it's sharpness I decided to add this SRK Compact to my collection as well. Although both could be considered budget friendly knives, they are well made and excellent quality knives. This SRK Compact has a comfortable handle and sturdy secure-ex sheath like most Cold Steel knives. The SK5 blade is ridiculously sharp and from what I've learnt about Cold Steel blades, it will keep it's edge for ages. If maintained properly will only need an occasional stropping to stay that way. I'm going to get a leather sheath as well for this and also use it as an alternative version of a sgian dubh when wearing my kilt. A great little multipurpose knife that should be perfect for bushcraft. It will definitely be part of my survival/camping kit.”

“I love these SRK Compacts. They're light, razor sharp and practical bushcraft/survival knives. I've got 3 different colour variants, the Desert Tan, the Black and now, the Olive Green handled one. All great quality knives, a tried and tested design Cold Steel have been making for years. At £44.95 it's got be one of the best value for money knives money can buy.”

“The first one i ordered had unevenly ground apex and problem with the tip but I replaced it and it's spot on. Good ergonomics of the handle and obviously it's mini srk so have to be good??”
